PHP DNS functions don't have a timeout while the default timeout for dig is 5 seconds (with several (3) tries)
It should drastically decrease time to get dns records, and lower failure errors like dns_get_record(): A temporary server error occurred.
Install the latest version with
$ composer require hostinger/php-dig
$client = new Hostinger\DigClient();
$result = $client->getRecord('hostinger.com', DNS_MX);
This is equal to
dns_get_record('hostinger.com', DNS_MX);
Package checks if it can run exec
in server environment, otherwise it will fallback to dns_get_record().
You can set logger to debug / log package activity
$client = new Hostinger\DigClient();
$logger = new \Monolog\Logger\Logger('App');
$logger->pushHandler(new StreamHandler('path/to/your.log'));
$client->setLogger($logger);
- php-dig client works with PHP 5.6 or above.
